Wall mount speakers securely enough that they do not
fall and cause personal injury or damage to property.
Use safety straps (included with MB-60 Brackets, sold
separately). Detailed information on attaching straps is
included with the brackets.
Paradigm DOES NOT supply hardware for mounting
speakers to the wall. Hardware shown in this manual
is for example only and will vary depending on wall
type. Use screws appropriate for wall type and weight
of speakers.
If installing into drywall, install into 1/2˝ (13 mm) or 5/8˝
(16 mm) drywall only. Screws must be long enough to
go through anchor bolts (not supplied).
For stability, bumper pads (included) must be used
when placing surround/rear speakers on a flat surface.
Please see the section on "Placement: Surround / Rear
Speakers" for more info.
IMPORTANT: Read before wall mounting bookshelf speakers.

BOOK HELF PEAKER :
ATTACHING BUMPER PAD
Self-adhesive bumper pads (includ d) may be applied to the bottom
corners of bookshelf speakers (as shown) when placed on a shelf or other
flat surface. This will isolate your speakers from the solid surface, improving
overall sound quality.

Break-In
Although Paradigm Monitor Series 7 speakers sound great “out of
the carton,” they will sound even better when broken in. Allow them to
operate for several hours before you listen critically.
High-frequency drivers use ferro-fluid that can thicken at temperatures
below 10° C (50° F). f your speakers have been transported or stored
in the cold let them warm to room temperature before use.
Cleaning
Do not use a strong or abrasive cleaner on your speakers. Clean
them with a damp soft cloth, but do not get them wet. Do not place
wet objects, such as drinking glasses or potted plants, on top of the
speakers. f allowed to soak in, even a small amount of water may
permanently damage the speaker enclosure.
Rubber Feet and Optional Spikes
On floorstanding models, the speaker base comes with rubber feet
pre-installed. f you intend to use isolation spikes (includ d with
floorstanding sp ak rs), rubber feet must be removed. We highly
recommend installing these spikes if speakers are to be place on
carpet as they will improve the sound of your speakers by isolating
them from the floor. The most convenient time to install these spikes
is during the unpacking process.
Optional Paradigm Speaker Stands
We highly recommend placing Monitor Series 7 bookshelf speakers
on high-performance Paradigm speaker stands (sold s parat ly), or
bookshelves to raise the high-frequency drivers to approximately ear
level, thereby ensuring the best performance possible.

brackets (sold s parat ly). Monitor surround speakers also have pre-
drilled pilot holes but are sold with wall-mounting brackets.
For onitor surround speakers use the
wall-mounting brackets included.

Monitor Series 7 speakers are efficient and can be driven to loud listening
levels with moderate amplifier power. They are also able to handle the
output of very powerful amplifiers. To prevent damage to your speakers,
please read the following guidelines before hooking them up.
Amplifier Distortion—The #1 Culprit!
Amplifier distortion is the principal cause of speaker damage. When listening
at loud levels your amplifier may run out of clean power. t will then begin
to produce distorted power several times greater than its rated output power.
This will damage any brand of speaker very quickly! (S your D al r for
amplifi r r comm ndations).
ore Powerful Amplifiers are Safer
A 40 watts per channel amplifier will have substantial distortion above
40 watts. f driven to 50 watts, this amplifier will deliver distorted power—
which will damage the speaker! A 100 watts per channel amplifier will
have substantial distortion above 100 watts, but very low distortion below
100 watts. When the speaker requires 50 watts, this more powerful
amplifier will deliver clean power and speaker damage is less likely.
Volume Control
Do not be fooled by the Volume Control of your receiver/preamplifier. t
only adjusts listening level—it is not a “power-output” dial. The amount
of amplifier power actually used at a given Volume Control setting depends
solely on the nature of the music you are listening to. At a given Volume
Control setting a quiet section of music will use less amplifier power than
a loud section. With typical pop-rock, jazz or large scale classical music
the rated output power of many receivers/amplifiers is often reached
when the Volume Control is between the “11” and “1” o’clock settings
(with bass/treble and loudness controls not used—otherwise rated
power may be reached at even lower Volume Control settings).
